Complete List of Errors Posted for Beta 6 Patch 1 [0.95.5.0] (& older) *EOL*

Because of the game release of next week and the constant updates to the game over the next week to get it ready this post will not be updated going forward.

I would like to thank everyone for the appreciation they gave me for keeping this post up to date.  Fortunately the game is being released next week, so in attempts to minimize the appearance of a buggy game I will no longer be keeping this post up to date.

 With this being said, I would love to continue contributing any way I can to benefit this game and anything else I can help with.

 

Reported Issues for Beta 6 Patch 1 (0.95.5.0) and older, please note on older linked errors if it is still present in Beta 6 Patch 1.

Also please note which version on any new bug post issues.

Here is a complete list of issues that already have forum topics, Please add to these topics as they exist already or follow the requested steps to create a support ticket or attempt a solution.  (Note there are some general complaints in some of these posts that have been left out as they may or may not be bugs)

Note Raynman has suggested Support tickets on several of these posts.  Support tickets can be done as follows

If you are having issues with crashes to desktop, please adjust settings (resolution, map sizes, anti-aliasing)  See picture at bottom of post.  Then note in support tickets what steps were taken, example didn't crash at these settings but, crashed using these settings.

Stardock has asked that we please respond with exactly what is happening; exact steps on how to reproduce the issue; map size and at what point in the game it occurs. Please also supply any screenshots \ video clips that may help illustrate the issue. Jing is a free app for that can be used for this:

For support where examining saves is required, names of ships, planets and starbases, etc, are extremely helpful in their attempts to reproduce the issue.

Hey Seilore, posted some new bugs at [bugs] Some new old bugs in 5.2?.

For your convenience, I believe my points 1 & 2 go to category 10. Ship Designer Issues. though my point 1 may fit in 18. Display Issues. I'm not sure where my point 3 ought to go... maybe in category 9, 10, or 11... My point 4 fits into category 12. Custom Race Issues.

Thanks again for maintaining this list!

19 D) Ship stats not displaying. (possible cause by researching interstellar travel or while evading items on map.)

i have seen this also happen due to upgrades i think anything that changes a ship will cause this, any research that has a stat increase any upgrade * possible exception ship graveyard events)* exit and reload fixes this until the next change

On loading Beta 6 save game into Beta 6.1 (5 minutes in) all fancy settings off. Biggest map size.

Beta screen still showing on game start up (unless it's a caching issue)

All my star bases are showing as ship icons, outside of system space, when map zoomed out. inside of system space that are just black outlines. (started a new game and this is resolved)

Feedback (small click sound) upon opening planet screen.
